RICHMOND, Texas — Sad news out of the Pecan Grove neighborhood in Richmond where a toddler has drowned.
The victim is a 20-month-old girl, according to the FBCSO.
Sheriff Troy Nehls said she wandered out of her apartment in the 2400 block of Old South.
The child's frantic mother reported her missing from just after 11 a.m. Friday.
"The back door to the apartment was open ... and her daughter was not inside the apartment," FBCSO Sheriff Troy Nehls said.
When her mother went to look for her, she spotted her daughter in a nearby retention pond near the golf course.
The mother and neighbors tried CPR until first responders arrived. Sadly, the little girl didn't make it.
